If you bounce the ball while you are being tackled, it's HTB.
If you bounce the ball and are then tackled shortly after, it's HTB.
If you bounce the ball badly, and it gets away from you, and you are tackled, is it still HTB?

I hate how you are penalised for bouncing the ball, but then getting tackled whilst the ball is on the way back up.
Bouncing the ball whilst being tackled is stupid and should be penalised, but the other way is ugh.

Why? If you bounce(or attempt to) you've had prior opportunity. Gawn

i think it works on
if you are in control of the ball
and then you get tackled after having prior oppurtunity to dispose of it
then you are holding the ball
unless you are playing essendon.

Yes. If you bounce the ball, you're deemed to be in possession of the ball, therefore, it's not possible to attempt to kick or handball.

What constitutes a tackle anyway because I remember a melbourne player one game bouncing the ball and was touched on the back then kept going but the ump called it holding the ball. Do you still have to lay a proper tackle or can you just be touched.

Horrible decision.
You definitely have to hold the player correctly. If a player lets go of the tackle as the ball is being disposed, it should be called "play on"

15.4.1 Correct Tackle or Correctly Tackled
(a) For the purposes of these Laws, a Player executes a tackle
correctly if:
(i) the Player being held is in possession of the ball; and
(ii) that Player is held (either by the body or playing uniform)
below the shoulders and above the knees.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, a tackle may be executed correctly
by holding a Player from the front, side or behind, provided
that a Player held from behind is not pushed in the back.
There you go
